Dropbox MCP Server

What it does

Dropbox's hosted MCP server (beta) connects agents to Dropbox files and folders with OAuth: list, search, upload, download, move, copy, delete, and share, plus revision history, transcription, and Markdown conversion for drafting and summarization. Supports Dynamic Client Registration for trusted clients like Claude and Cursor.

Sample tools

Field notes

Endpoint unchanged on re-check and still beta — Dropbox's beta terms apply on top of your plan. The help page (last revised 18 Mar 2026) now names its tools individually under 'Available tools' instead of the old '25+ tools' gesture, so tools_sample above is quoted from Dropbox rather than guessed; the full set also covers file requests, restore events, usage and quota, and DownloadLink. Dynamic Client Registration only covers a curated client list (Claude Code, Claude web, Cursor, ChatGPT web and Codex); everyone else creates a Dropbox app and configures OAuth 2 redirect URIs by hand, and those access tokens are short-lived enough that you will regenerate them. Change your Dropbox app scopes and you must reconnect the server. A separate official Dash MCP covers enterprise search (dropbox/mcp-server-dash, 10 stars, pushed 30 Jun 2026). The community Go alternative ngs/dropbox-mcp-server has had no commit since Sep 2025 — use the hosted server instead.
